If Bonnie Rait were darker, if Courtney Love were more humane, if Bob Dylan was still worth listening to, if we turned off OJ Simpson long enough to hear the noise we’re making, we would find out that we still sound like Joni Mitchell. Not exactly lost and alone, but certainly baffled and embittered and struggling valiantly to make sense.

Just because Joni sounds cool, doesn’t make her right, particularly in context of the early-mid ’90s.

That song was def NOT HELPFUL in terms of gay people’s struggles. So like the song, but just understand that fact.

MrCE is going to a conference this week in Philadelphia — “The Language of Pain and Illness.” MsCE is speaking at Furniture Forum at the Winterthur Museum, and I’m going on a hen trip to Columbus to antique. Spring IS here!

The rest of the corporate stuff applies. But that “Sex Kills” thing was very hurtful at the time, particularly when we gay people were all talking about “Dumb Kills” where people didn’t know what was actually going to kill them.

And that’s true today too. Sex won’t kill you, and neither will advertising. A person’s lack of knowledge will. In both cases.

Evening all, doing a driveby after a most awesome weekend with our Finnish relatives-thru-love and their friends.
I’m not a fan of Sex Kills. I’m only a marginal fan of Joni. However, when she nailed it, she nailed it.
Not too many can say that!

Here in the beautiful Puget Sound with her Oil refineries and her Nuclear Subs that stray up our waterways out of their “designated” areas, live volcanoes, major quake faults and……Americans For Prosperity and our local Dem boy sponsoring a Union Busting bill. I’m looking at you, Jeff Morris.
So, anyhoooo, we had an awsome day of glorious sunshine and no wind to celebrate the birthdays of 5 Taurus people. They created the coolest Birthday song, so much fun to sing. Might have to ask someone to post it on Youtube.
But,…islanders don’t do that, too much.

Well, the better half is snoozing away at my side…! After another slice of pudding pie, I think I’ll be out soon too…! Mahalo, for the great conversation tonite and I hope to see ya’ll tomorrow nite…! Aloha Oe…! *g*

p.s. OT I’m diving back into fucking studying what’s happening in my state of Wa, my county of Skagit.
Fucking Kockroaches are glittering the local mini-politics and we all need to wake the FFFFFFUUUUCCKKK UUUPPPP.
Was that too weird?…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..?
